Understanding how proteins fold is key to unlocking how cells function and how their structures are built. When proteins fold incorrectly, it can cause cells to malfunction, leading to diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Delving into the complexities of protein folding not only enriches our fundamental understanding of biological processes but also paves the way for innovative therapies, and novel drug discoveries.

The 2024 Boden Research Conference aims to bring together a multidisciplinary community of experts to deepen our understanding of protein folding dynamics and propel therapeutic innovation. The conference will assess current knowledge, identify crucial gaps, and guide future research in protein folding and misfolding. The conference will also explore how machine learning can revolutionize the search for new treatments and better diagnosis of diseases.

Join us to discover how the smallest proteins can solve some of our biggest health challenges. Together, we can advance scientific understanding and develop new solutions to combat debilitating diseases.”
